I remember that speech - Man was I ticked off at Bush for that. After working 2 jobs to scrape up 15% down on my first home, a $37,500 2-bedroom flat condo, and after paying mortgage insurance for 3 years, and after paying "through-the-nose" 13.25% interest rates for 3 years, he decided that it was wise to give all these deadbeats a free ride. I EARNED my first home - and he was going to take my hard-EARNED money and give it away.
If the democrats weren't exponentially worse, I would have considered voting "D" in 2004.
